The door of Xiao Mansion was closed tightly, and even the side door that was usually open was unusually not opened today. The entire mansion was as quiet as if no one was there.

Xu Wuyan moved a small bench and sat next to the side door. Two ordinary Si Yan stood behind him, not even daring to say a word.

Everyone is waiting for news.

A piece of news that determines whether Xiao Mansion is happy or sad.

Xu Wuyan's ears suddenly moved.

"Grandpa Xu, what's wrong?"

"Horse, the sound of horse hooves!" Xu Wuyan suddenly stood up.

The two Si Yan looked at each other, but they heard nothing.

No matter what they say, they don't believe that the old butler Xu's ears are even more sensitive than theirs.

"Open the door!" Xu Wuyan said sharply.

Although the two Si Yan didn't believe it, they didn't dare to neglect it. Xu Wuyan's prestige in the mansion was often higher than that of Erlang and Sanniangzi.

The door had just been opened slightly, and Xu Wuyan could not wait to walk out of the side door with a cane, walked down the steps, and looked up at the end of the road.

It was at this time that an extremely tall horse appeared in Xu Wuyan's field of vision.

That's floating light.

It is the lifeblood of the family leader Xiao Yu.

It was only today that he was taken out, and the purpose was to send the news back to the house as quickly as possible.

Riding on the horse is Mr. Erlang.

Xu Wuyan's hand holding the crutch suddenly tightened, and his veins were exposed, and he swallowed involuntarily.

"Win, win! Big brother wins, ten to one hundred!" Before the flash of light could stop, Xiao Cheng flew down and landed on the ground, staggering, and two Si Yan rushed forward to hold him up.

Xiao Cheng.

"Win?" Xu Wuyan suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Cheng and asked in a trembling voice.

"We won, we won cleanly!" Xiao Cheng's face was filled with joy.

"Go and report back to the madam!" Xu Wuyan let go, turned around and ran inside.

At this moment, he completely forgot about his age. His upper body was out, but his old legs did not follow him. He fell firmly to the ground with a bang, which shocked Xiao Cheng. He hurriedly squatted down to grab it.

Come and help me, don't say anything.

"Don't worry about me, old slave. Go and report to the madam." Xu Wuyan slapped the ground with his hands, laughing and shouting.

Xiao Cheng turned around and ran inside. As he ran, he turned back to the two Si Yan and said, "Hurry and help Grandpa Xu get up and rest."

The two Si Yans were also beaming with joy at this time. They worked together to lift Xu Wuyan up and carried him into the mansion without even stepping on the ground.

Fu Guang glanced around outside the door a few times, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he looked up to the sky and sneezed dissatisfiedly. He walked into the house with small steps, and walked towards his exclusive horse corridor with familiarity.

Go.

Xiao Cheng rushed in.

The eyes of the nurse, servants, servants, and maids who were working quietly in the house all fell on him.

"Win, win!" Waving his arms, Xiao Cheng no longer looked as calm as before in the eyes of his family, and shouted loudly.

The silent Xiao Mansion came to life in an instant.

In Xiao's backyard, in the small Buddhist hall, Xiao and Li knelt devoutly in front of the Buddhist incense, knocking the wooden fish with one hand and pulling the rosary beads with the other, with her eyes slightly closed and chanting something in her mouth.

Behind him, Gao Qi and Xiao Jing knelt behind him. The little Xiao Jing couldn't stand it for a long time. He leaned crookedly on his mother. Although he had a grimace and a flat mouth, he didn't dare to do anything.

Because his grandmother, who was usually very kind to him, scolded him severely the first time he cried out that it hurt, and his mother slapped him unceremoniously. He was so smart that he immediately

Then I understood that today was not a day where I could be a little angry.

Even Xiao Yi, who had always been influenced by Xiao Cheng and didn't believe in gods and Buddhas at all, was kneeling like Zhou Zheng today.

After a crisp thunk, Mrs. Xiao Han stopped the small mallet in her hand and said with anger on her face: "Why is it so noisy in the house?"

Gao Qi and Xiao Yi listened intently, and sure enough, there were faint noises coming from outside. It seemed that many people were shouting, but they couldn't hear clearly what they were shouting.

"Honey, I seem to be shouting win, win, win!" Xiao Jing, who had been listening to the noise outside, suddenly opened his mouth and said.

The expressions of the other three women in the room changed instantly.

"Jinger, did you really win?" Xiao Han turned his head suddenly and looked at his grandson.

Before Xiao Jing had time to speak, the sound of rapid footsteps and Xiao Cheng's voice full of joy could be heard outside.

"We won, we won, sis, sister-in-law, and eldest brother won. We won a great victory with ten to a hundred!"

With a bang, the door of the Buddhist hall was pushed open, and Xiao Cheng, sweating profusely, appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face.

The drumstick in Xiao Han's hand fell weakly to the ground.

But when Gao Qi heard the first few words Xiao Cheng said, her whole body collapsed to the ground as if she had no bones. Xiao Ai on the side quickly helped her sister-in-law up.

Only Xiao Jing, who was still ignorant, didn't know what was going on, but looking at the situation now, it seemed that he no longer had to be confined to kneeling in this small place where he couldn't even breathe easily, but could go out and play.

This discovery made him jump and dance in the small Buddhist hall, cheering repeatedly: "win, win, daddy wins."

He actually didn't know what he had won.

Although Xiao Yu and Xiao Ding have not returned yet, the main door of the Xiao Mansion has been opened. The elegant and elegant Xiao Han, who has restored everyone's mistress, is sitting in the middle. A group of housekeepers, mothers-in-law, and nursing staff are sitting in the middle.

There was a queue in the lobby all the way to the outside of the lobby, listening solemnly to the hostess's instructions.

"Uncle Xu, please send someone to deliver a thousand kilograms of sesame oil and a thousand guan of money to Daxiangguo Temple to fulfill my wish!"

Xiao Cheng didn't expect that the first thing the eldest lady would do was to thank the monk, and she suddenly felt unhappy.

"Honey, my eldest brother showed his might and the soldiers under his command sacrificed their lives to achieve this great victory. What does it have to do with the monk? This money might as well be used to reward the soldiers!" Xiao Cheng said.

"What do you know?" Xiao Hanshi glared at her second son with dissatisfaction. She knew that this son had never had a good impression of monks and Taoists, and he often thought in front of her that these people were parasites. "I went there three days ago.

I made a wish at Daxiangguo Temple, and the abbot told me personally that the Bodhisattva will definitely bless Dalang to show his power and return in good health! Didn’t you just say that Dalang and his bodyguards are all missing? What if it weren’t for this?

Bodhisattva bless you, how could it have such a good ending?"

Seeing Xiao Han's appearance of trying to deal with him if he disagreed, Xiao Cheng shut his mouth, but thought in his heart, if Zhang Chao and Taiwei Zhang had also gone to the Daxiangguo Temple to seek blessings from the Bodhisattva three days ago, then the Daxiangguo would

What the abbot of the temple said to Taiwei Zhang was probably exactly the same as what his eldest lady said.

Anyway, I won because of the blessing of Bodhisattva.

If you lose, are you still in the mood to go to the Daxiangguo Temple to settle the score with him?

He didn't even have to pay half a penny, but he was able to get such a big harvest. It was really faster than robbery! Roadblocks and robberies cost more!

Seeing Xu Wuyan going to arrange things to thank the monk, Xiao Hanshi was giving orders to the servants again and again. They were going to make a big purchase. It looked like they were holding a grand banquet to celebrate.

appearance.

Sure enough, after all these were assigned, Xiao Han turned to look at Xiao Cheng: "Erlang, I will give you a list later. You write the invitations and then send them to your door in person. Our Xiao family is going to have a big banquet for guests."

Xiao Cheng hesitated and said: "My lord, it's just the monks from Xie Xiangguo Temple. The monks on the left and right won't tell anyone about how much wealth they have received. As for the guests at the banquet, I'd better be more cautious!

"

"What's the truth?" Xiao Han said angrily.

"My eldest sister, this time my eldest brother showed off his power and shocked everyone with his skills, but the one hundred horsemen of the Dragon Guard Army suffered heavy casualties. According to the child at the scene, the last remaining ones were only in their early thirties, and there were

Nearly seventy people, most of them died, and some were seriously injured." Xiao Cheng whispered. "Most of these people are from Bianliang. Although I can't blame my elder brother for this, but people always

He died in the hands of our Xiao family. There are funerals in these people's homes, but our Xiao family celebrates them vigorously, which will inevitably make people gossip. Maybe some thoughtful people will incite them to come to our house to cause trouble!"

"How dare they? Can Wang Fa tolerate them causing trouble?"

Xiao Cheng sighed: "Honey, with this victory of eldest brother, the reputation of our Xiao family will rise to a new level. How can we not be jealous of others? If all the people who come are orphans and widowed mothers,

White-haired lady, what can the government do? If we don't say anything else, let these people gather in front of our house and cry, I'm afraid the people of Bianliang will hate our Xiao family."

Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, Xiao Han immediately fell silent. Although he didn't take these people seriously, reputation was extremely important to a family.

"Also, after this incident, I'm afraid that the Fourth Army will go to the North to fight. Once the cause and effect of this matter is spread, I'm afraid there will be more people who hate Big Brother and our Xiao Mansion.

After all, as a soldier in Bianliang, you get a good salary and no worries about your life, but when you get to the border, your life is in danger." Xiao Cheng continued.

Xiao Han's face changed color, "Erlang, why didn't you explain these things to your father and your elder brother earlier? Isn't this putting the Xiao family on the fire?"

"Honey, my father and eldest brother are the kind of people who serve the country without caring about their own lives. Even if I say it, what effect will it have?" Xiao Cheng shook his head and said: "The current plan is to do some remedial work.

"

"How to remedy it?" Xiao Han said nervously.

"My child has a list of the Ma Army personnel in his hand. Let me ask my subordinates to find out. For those who were killed or injured, let us in the Xiao Mansion use some money to compensate them. Although they will still hate us, at least in the great righteousness

Above, we can handle it, and it is blameless in the scholarly discussion." Xiao Cheng said.

"That's it!" Mrs. Xiao Han nodded repeatedly: "Then our house won't celebrate anymore."

"We still have to celebrate, but we have to celebrate behind closed doors as a family. In the past ten days, we have been a little tense up and down, so we still need to reward ourselves and relax a bit.

of."
